2019 Video Photography Contest Judges

[row] [column size=’1/3′]

Matthew Apthorp

Matthew Apthorp is a multi-award-winning photographer and editor. He is currently based in Tampa, Fla. but travels the state as a member of the EW Scripps Company’s Florida Investigative team. Matt uses his talent behind the camera to bring statewide investigative reports to life on various platforms from broadcast to digital. His work has helped result in change at the local and state level and can be seen on ABC Action News in Tampa, WPTV NewsChannel 5 in West Palm Beach and FOX 4 in Fort Myers.

Matthew’s work as a photographer/editor has been honored with 7 Emmy awards,
6 Edward R. Murrow Awards, and nearly two dozen Associated Press awards. In 2010 the National Press Photographers Association named him Editor of the Year Runner up.

Matthew began his career 14 years ago working the overnight shift as a Master Control Operator at WENY near his hometown in upstate New York. His eye for the unique and unusual led him to pick up a camera and start shooting shortly after for WBNG in Binghamton, New York. He left the cold behind for WBBH in Fort Myers, Florida before moving to Tampa and eventually joining the EW Scripps Company in 2016. Over the years Matthew has covered everything from general news, investigative, sports, hurricanes and flooding. In 2015 he traveled to Panama to film a special on the 100th birthday of the Panama Canal.

He credits watching his father’s love for still photography growing up and his own love for filmmaking that led him into the industry. Despite the numerous accolades he’s received professionally, he is most proud of his wife, Kimberly and their three beautiful daughters Lily, Sidney and Calley, frequent test subjects of his own still photography.
